We are trying to have a bit of quiet time before we costume up for our annual trick r treat festivities. I am getting a bit emotional as I look back over the past 2 Halloweens. Elmer Fudd, Super W and the Octopus bring back such good memories. ﻿

Here are a few huppie-isms I've learned about over the past 6 years in PDX:
Hippies drive an original VW Van. Yuppies, a pimped SUV. Huppies? A VW minivan, duh.

Hippies give birth in the woods. Yuppies schedule a cesarean and get the suite at the hospital. Huppies? Most deliver in the hospital with midwives and doulas. Huppies secure bragging rights by getting it done without drugs. Most huppie babies are born in a tub.

Hippies go backpacking. Yuppies are at the Ritz. Huppies, camp with rules (for example, my rules: never 2 nights in a row, meals at restaurants, bathroom facilities near by, wifi is a nice touch, and always on a mattress).

My Team

Moi

I'm a midwest farmer's daughter who fell in love with a French ski racer from California. Recently, we jumped at the chance to move to Amsterdam for nearly three years. More recently, we returned home - to Portland, OR. We have a little boy and a little girl. Neither is too little anymore. I like happy colors and vacations. My college degree claims I am a Mechanical Engineer, although my heart tells me I am an artist. I'm also a runner. I love the word garden as a noun but not as a verb.
Thanks for stopping by.
